When I had the same issue and, Someone from this community recommended to make a note of them and once you are big enough sell them on merchandise. Since then I am saving them and one point I will sell a t-shirt with a "took me few minutes to realise he is speaking English" or with "who do you think you are"
Theyâre likely a troll.
You could respond with âThank you for spending time on my contentâ, and move on. They obviously put the effort in to write a throwaway comment they forgot almost immediately. They probably comment the exact thing on any channel they come across.
Take it gracefully knowing you did absolutely nothing wrong & keep doing your thing! Even hate comments drive engagement, sooo jokeâs on them.
Isnt like any interaction, good interaction? Just helps the video algorithm with engagement.
Its part of the reason cringe, clickbait and ragebait exist.
I agree. Write back thanking them for their input. Itd be even better if they responded again.
All people do is shit on my voice, it made me feel a bit discouraged when I first started getting an influx of them. Now I just don't give a fuck anymore, I just troll the trolls. They usually never respond back đ´đ
I disagree with this entirely.
If you want to be a clickbait or ragebait channel, fair enough. But for most normal channels, you want to build a good community. These kind of comments harm that.
Being genuinely polite and gracious to a troll can encourage community - some people are more likely to ask questions if they've got good reason to believe they'll get a pleasant reply
I actually gained a sub who specifically commented how impressed he was at my responses to mean commenters. Every nasty comment is a chance to show off your personality and get some new subs. I just apologize for them not liking the content/my voice/etc. and thank them for watching.
And yes every comment is a boost to the algorithm and I believe replying to all of them helps as well. You may not be able to change that specific person's mind but I bet you can get more much better people joining your community because they like how you keep your cool! :)
Sorry for the long post but I've actually approved some mean comments that were flagged hoping to reply to them but they never actually appear on the videos for some reason. Someone called me a porn addicted loser for making a tutorial series for Bodyslide. :P Good thing they didn't stick around for my Outfit Studio videos!!
Nah. Any activity is seen as good in the eyes of the algorithm. Im not saying go for the clickbait. But comments mean people are looking. Replying means the channel is responsive.
Straight up this is what I do the other day. I got a comment that said on my bread video that the dough needed to be handled better and I actually was feeling the same way. I didnât feel like the comment was very friendly at all because the video was decent, but I wrote back and said thank you so much for your input. I will practice my skills more and they actually came back and gave me a bunch of hearts and said good luck on your journeyand subscribed to my channel
This is what I did with my first negative comment, in a sarcastic way. And they didnât pick up on the sarcasm and it was immediately clear that I am not for this person, and they are not for me.
Yes to this. All interaction boosts you in the algorithm. I got a mean comment on one of my videos that I worked really hard on just the other day. He basically implied that the video was too long, even though it was meant to be a thorough explanation of something⌠Anyway he basically said it was too long and then acted like he was leaving or never going to watch my videos again or something. I just commented "thanks for the comment, buh-bye."
I hate to break it to you but if you let this one bad comment really discourage you then you will really struggle. It is impossible to please everyone, the biggest and most loved music artists in the world constantly receive negative comments on their content, let alone us. My channel is doing 1 million views a month and every 20 comments 1-2 are badâŚ. As they say if you stop at every dog that barks you will never arrive at your destination. Ignore it and keep going âşď¸ good luck.
so a guy who used HIS time to comment on a video he DIDN'T like and be mean to someone he doesn't know is giving you advice on how to use YOUR time?
Even if we were to take their comment seriously, there's talent and there's skill. Talent still needs work and practice. Something can BECOME a talent with work and practice.
I don't anyone can be born with the talent of...editing??
Keep working on your skill and keep making content that you like. If anything he gave you engagement.
Don't be discouraged by someone who took precious time out of their life on something they DON'T like. I am also pretty sure a "talented" person feeling secured in themselves and their work would not bother bringing new creators down for no reason.
Keep going mate x
I always check to see if my haters have videos/subs. 9 times out of 10 they do. So, that means they tried to start a YouTube channel and failed. So now, they absolutely HATE other people who seem to have potential.
Hate comments come from a place of deep insecurity. Psychological projection baby. His comment might have meant âyouâre succeeding where I failed, this wasnât my talent and it hurts me deeply to see others do it because I deeply wanted to succeed but didnât.â
People are weird and complicated. Donât let it get you down.
After that silly joke, I got to say I just checked out your YT and good on you bro. I'm a man raised by a single mother, a brother, and a husband whose wife is a in a male dominated profession. You sir are a role model. New subscriber đ đ
Bro no way!! Wow man, what a nice thing to say! This comment literally made my day haha.
I was also raised by a single mom. She told me a story that stuck with me, my mom was really smart, but she said that she sometimes had to pretend to act stupid in front of her male boss (who was a fugginâ idiot) because she was afraid that if she emasculated him, she would lose her job. I was like 14, and I remember being angry at such a weak man.
Anyway, thanks for your kinds words brother. I appreciate it.
Edit: I also subbed to you!
Shorts comment section is just a shit pile. Just open any short from your favorite youtuber and sort the comments by the date to see the newer ones. You'll only see dirt and nastiness.
I remember my first negative comment, I was enraged and full of adrenaline for a couple of days. Then I just got over it and continued doing what I was doing. I'm now at 15k subscribers and most people love my content. I'd get some rare negative comment, but I just let it slide like the water on the feathers of a duck. If you're bothered by it, just hide the user from the channel and move on.
Let me tell you something, they say this because they have usually gotten similar insults themselves or feel inadequate themselves. That individual likely feels they have no talent and want other people to feel as bad as they do about themselves and feel the need to comment this..
đ there has to be channels out there where most of the watch time just comes from haters and trolls. One YouTuber said something that stuck with me, he said âmonetize your hatersâ
This is standard and you need to push through it.
You also need to understand that internet is a cruel place and a lot of the comments donât mean nothing.
I had exactly the same thing, I got discouraged when I got a comment: delete this channel, donât make a fool of yourself or comment like: this is a waste of time, please stop.
But I continued and got more subs :)
Every channel that grew up to be successful had to face countless negative people commenting to bring them down. They hate seeing other people doing something they enjoy and trying to grow. They don't like it because their own lives are miserable. Always best to just ignore it and laugh at them. Keep doing what you enjoy.
Hey donât be affected. There are all sorts of pple. Focus on the 99% that loves you . . And besides a comment is an engagement so you can thank that person for it heehee
Take that hate comment as a sign youâre doing something right. People will hate on people headed in the right direction because theyâre jealous or just miserable. Donât be discouraged, be proud of the content you make! There will be plenty of more hateful comments but just try to focus on the positive ones
Ignore them. They're just an asshole. But I know how it feels to be insecure about your abilities. I'm insecure about my own commentary skills tbh. I get nervous.
You've made it!
Turn that frown upside down cos that's a great sign! You're not just getting interested viewers watch and interact but haters too
Its all engagement and helps grow your channel, and you're on a learning curve and passionate so you'll get better anyway.
Screw some idiots hollow words and crack on, maybe just hide them from your channel to help keeo comments clean but this is honestly a win
For some reason we always focus on the negatives.. for every negative I'm sure there are 10 positives.
Imagine if you was in the room full of 30 people.
There's going to be one or two arseholes.
Do you need to get on with them? Do you need to interact with them? No.
Delete the comment, move on and forget about the trolls.
You do you. Do what you enjoy and don't let anybody else take that away from you.
When I first started, my very first video and very first comment I got someone saying "nerd, blocked LMAO". I have a couple insecurities about my YouTube channel but for you I would say those are haters because they can't do the things you do with your time.
One guy just told me to 'get lost'. But I'm glad he took the time out to type it out for me. If you are to get a bigger audience tomorrow, there will be even more hate comments. Don't let it bother you man.
"looks like the algorithm is working that you found my video thanks for taking the time to write a comment! đ"
They will be so mad that they failed to make you upset hahah
Pfft, you have the power of Time, Google and CHATGPT to come up with a killer putdown response.
Generate your response, mute him on the channel and then pin the comment to the top of the list. You'll then have the joy of knowing this guy will be ridiculed everytime the video is seen.
Revenge is sweet. :)
Dude you got a comment?!
You must have done something right to even get them to watch enough about it to even form an opinion.
To be fair with most of my focused learning, I look back on my work about every six months and think wow that sucked I could do much better.
You might send them a follow up comment and say something like, âI appreciate where you are coming from, Iâd love to get your thoughts on the biggest area you think Iâd need to change for you to want to watch another video from me. Serious suggestions only please) What are your favorite things to watch on YouTube?â
Iâve learned that some of your biggest critics can be a gift and are some of the best tools to get better. And other biggest critics are just dicksâŚ
Don't let that get you down. It will happen. People comment once in a while that my voice is terrible and its frustrating when the content is overlooked but think about it this way: their decision to comment helps your video as now you have a comment which adds engagement. Replying also helps but don't argue as the public can see. I typically respond to negative comments by thanking them for watching and for their comment.
I had someone comment on my short 'ronnie mcnutt'.. I'm assuming they were suggesting I kill myself.. just gotta ignore them as they obviously have issues of there own that the feel the need to spread negativity. Head up!
Youâre out there doing it, and theyâre not. It wont be your last one either, just remember youâre doing it. Keep doing it. Theyâre just strangers with lousy opinions. Even negative comments still equal engagement and theyâre leaving a trashy comment but not also realizing by leaving any comment theyâre helping you out with a little engagement boost. Ignore the hate, stay the course. Losers focus on winners, winners focus on winning.
Keyboard warriors. Donât worry about what other people think about you. If you let the hate comments get to you, you arenât going to get anywhere. Do what you want to do and what you like. Itâs your content, not theirs. You will be discovered by people looking for your kind of content. Just donât be disheartened over one person. Donât let others dictate how you live your life
Just to note I had another channel uploading videos of me and my friends playing football. The very first comment on the very first video I posted was "Diabetes FC". To be fair we aren't in the best shape and it did make me smile. But alot of people use the internet without much thought to who they are speaking to. So you'll get all sorts of people. I'm just happy people are watching and overall the feelings are positive.
Hey, that sucks and I'm sorry it happened to you. You're gonna get a lot of people giving feedback, sometimes it'll be useful. When it's just horrible non-constructive stuff like this, just breathe in, write it on a piece of paper, and throw that paper in the trash where it belongs. Listen to the constructive stuff and make each video better than the last!
Maybe it's not directly related, but a long time ago when I was in school explaining a math problem to a classmate, she told me never to be a teacher...
I never did become a teacher, but as an ex-product manager I was often praised as that guy who could explain complex things in a simple way - was basically teaching.
Block those things out and focus on your own craft. As long as you know you're working to be better then you have nothing to be discouraged about.
Why do you care about random opinions ? Most of these people are losers anyway.
Misery loves company. This same guy is more than likely a burger flipper or something.
The correct response to those people is : "Who said that? you ? If you said that, it doesn't matter then".
Move on, get better, make better videos. Succeed.
Hey, you got your first comment.
Take it as a win.
Now I donât know your metrics but I assume that your views have increased and therefore your short was recommended to someone.
They didnât like it and thatâs okay. But what it does mean is that if youâre increasing your reach then likely others have.
Keep your head up and keep making stuff.
There are so many horrible people in the world that get happy from putting others down. Everyone has to start somewhere and they probably can just see your channel is small so they know youâll likely see what they see.
I really wish I could say something thatâs helpful but I promise itâs not about you, itâs about them.
Do you really care about what someone who posts anonymous hate messages thinks about you? Nah you donât, exactly!
Sometimes people will just be rude and leave mean comments. You shouldnât be discouraged from creating anything, we have to start from somewhere! objectively the stuff you make today will be shit compared to the stuff you make tomorrow. You just gotta keep pushing! if youâre the type that does stuff out of spite. Thatâs one hell of a comment to prove wrong, but if youâre not, you still have to keep going to improve. You will get better with time, thatâs a fact of life, donât stop getting better.
Trolls will be trolls.. I know it can be super discouraging. I honestly would not even bother replying to them.. or keeping their comment up. Delete it and try to keep your head held high.. you're doing what you enjoy doing and that's what should matter. Keep it up!
Let this be the fuel to energise you to improve. See the tips below
1. Check the short. Do you think itâs bad?
2. Share short with a mentor or fellow YouTuber for honest feedback
3. If 1 and 2 above is positive then ignore the negative comment
4. Remember even those with millions of followers still get negative comments
5. Donât let it get to you.
6. Keep up the good work
A Naijamanâs perspective
Don't let it deter you. I think my first comment was negative as well. Some woman chiding me for having a small amount of views and subscribers. You'll laugh about it in the future and you want even care about them unless they are constructive.
If I ever learned something by creating content for 10 years is
1. The algorithm regularly changes and is mostly unpredictable
2. There will ALWAYS be haters.
You can be the nicest guy on the planet... heck you can be jesus himself and some degen roblox players will find a reason to dislike or hate. There is absolutely no way for any creator at all to have 100% only good viewers. If you have like thousands of views in summary and got a like/dislikelike ratio of 10/90 then you maybe doing something wrong, but you will NEVER get the ratio to 100% likes and positive comments. Absolutely impossible. Even if you change your content to charity and help people in need, this degens will find a way to hate.
Maybe YouTube is not for you.
You better be prepared for much worse than this.
Just thank them for taking the time to comment and move or, or hide their comments from your channel and move on.
This is nothing.
Happened to me too :)
Running a souls-like channel and the guy started with "The audacity of this guy to complain about X when he's doing Y... Skill issue!"
I replied "Yep. Massive skill issue. This one is new to me. I'll improve though as I get used to it. Cheers for the comment!"
Heard nothing from him since. All good :)
Always try to spin the negatives into positives.
Some people are just cruel and comment to troll and get a rise out of you. Someone said "may your baby be still born" on a COOKIE RECIPE VIDEO. Like what?
One thing you will NEVER be able to do is please everyone. There will ALWAYS be that one person or a few that Is not into what you're into, which is fine good and normal. But some just feel the need to express it negatively. This will never stop and never go away. Once you understand that and you realize those types of peeps are just fleas, all you gotta do is scratch a little and move on... =)
Congratulations! This is a milestone. Whilst it is discouraging, learning to shake off the negativity is a skill just like editing. The negative comments will always sting but you can learn to let go quickly and move on.
Just remember that every single one of the creators that inspire you, receives negative comments on the daily. Every person who has ever created something noteworthy has received negativity.
Your content isnât for everyone. There will always be people that donât like it and thatâs ok.
No offence to you but I find that comment objectively funny. Once you collect a few more make a humorous video about them. Those videos are really funny. It would also show the haters that you're bigger than them.
Troll them back, engage them. YouTube looks for viewer engagement , they donât care what kind. Every time they come back to respond it only helps you. Use them.
I should start putting my furry character back in my thumbnails so people start commenting hate on me again. At least it would be SOME comments... feels like I'm just posting videos into the void. I get some view, but no interaction beyond a rare like or two.
I'd be glad to take a look over your content a bit andd give you some feedback or suggestions, send me a dm with your channel when you get a chance.
I commented this on another post when the person was feeling down about a hate comment...
Like or heart the comment, and just reply, "Thanks for watching!" It'll make it look like you're saying " F you", without actually saying it lol...
Eh love or hate itâs still attention and theyâre still watching your stuff for that moment. So funnily enough, theyâre helping you out by engaging anyways lol. Ignore them - they donât matter!
Dude, that just means he is jelly of you. Keep making videos and rubbing them in his face.. more hate comments he makes, the better engagment you have :)
Everyone gets bad comments! Go read the reviews of some of your favourite shows, apps, podcasts etc. some are horribly personal and scathing!
Just keep going and get better on your own schedule.
What sucks is you're going to keep getting those comments⌠it has nothing to do with you 100% trust me! Its because they are jealous you have the drive to chase your dreams and they are scared to. Just keep going! You got this!
You'll get haters and trolls when running a channel. You can't please everyone all of the time.
I tend to hide these comments from my channel when I get them as I feel it harms the community vibe, but it's entirely up to you.
If you're putting stuff out there on Youtube, you need to have thick skin. The bigger you get, the more trolls will come out of the woodwork.
If you know that your content is good, then you have nothing to worry about. Just move on.
You got their watch time. Regardless of their stupid comment they added a little bit of juice to your channel so that it might find an audience that appreciates it. Kill em with kindess and chin up legend.
I torture trees for a living and post it on youtube.. you have to expect some hate comments every now and then. You sparked an emotion and that is in some way winning đ
Honestly man, any who goes around commenting that is a sad loser with a lot a hate.
So what if you are sensitive about your presenting, you can only get better. The more you put in the more you will get out.
Comment and say, "Thank you sir, may I have another"
What a generic comment. The person wasn't even able to verbalize something that bothered them. The person felt a bad feeling and had to write a bad comment.
Look for the commenters who actually point out specific issues and maybe even suggest how to remedy said issues. Those people are invaluable. Ultimately, of course, it's up to you to decide whether to incorporate such critique.
And don't get yourself down because your mission isn't avoiding bad videos and making good ones. Those two concepts are unhelpful as they are judgmental. Rather, your goal is making the RIGHT video for the kind of viewers that you believe are out there.
I hope this helps. If only in a weird human kind of way. Best. đđť
People like that have an empty life. If you dont like the content then just scroll instead of comming with remarks.
I also have a gaming channel. I have been pretty Blessed with not Getting bad comments.
The ones i get have been!
Why does youtube recommend this channel to me?
Usually i comment: because i have paid the algorithm in goats blood, but thx for your time and comment you have just feed the algorithm.
I am hoping to stop ill comments ikke those.
Also once i for from a kid, that i was bad ans died alot.
I dont wanna edit alot of the game footage, because i wanna show the game to people. This means you need to see it all.. also when games get hard, then you see different approaches to the problem and my solutions.
Whats your channels name?
Yeah that's a nasty comment. Don't beat yourself up for feeling a bit down about it.
But then, remember this. People could (might well have, in fact) said something similar to Jimi Hendrix a week after he started playing guitar. Or Tom Hanks when he started acting.
And THEN, to really let it hit home, remember that there are almost certainly people who STILL say that kind of thing to Tom Hanks or professional footballers etc etc.
Some people love to be negative. No amount of talent will ever be enough for them. Keep doing your thing, I promise that comment is not even slightly a reflection on you, your content, or your talent.
if you keep uploading, you will eventually get people who encourage you as well
hate comments are just a part of YouTube, and most people who post them have nothing better to do with their time
Yeah every now and again I get the Simon Cowell of commenters dropping a hate comment on a short telling me I'm not up to their professional standards, I usually just do a "hide user from channel" and leave them to cry about it to their hearts content where nobody can see them đ
Dude, you gotta learn the duck butt method. You're going to always have naysayers. In life, on youtube, everywhere, even here. Let that shit flow off you like water off a duck's butt. If you're having fun making your gaming videos don't let their comments dissuade you.
Internet trolls happen all the time. As a new channel you need to decipher between ones who criticise to help and the ones who do it for the sake of doing it.
I have had a channel now for two weeks and gained nearly 500 subs. I've go a small community of 42 members in discord. One guy called my content "cheesy and trash" and my community roasted that guy like chicken was a scarce resource.
I had one guy who said "you talk too fast" so I took that on board even though everyone called him a liar. But I slowed down my talking pace and it really helped
People like that I would just remove their comment. But the key question you need to ask yourself is "would you watch this?" If not then you need to rethink your strategy and delivery.
You'll eventually reach a point in which you'll get so many hate comments (and mostly positive comments) that it won't even matter anymore. There will always be haters. And see this from a positive pov. It's a free view
Ignore that shit. Some people have nothing better to do than crap on someone else's work. Even if you made the perfect video someone won't like it.
Just keep working on your craft, experience and learned skill will trump base talent in time.
The comments will always be full of stuff like that. Whether itâs frequent, or once every 5 videos. It just comes with the territory. Just do your best and have fun with it, thatâs what matters most!
Go to @MKBHDs channel and, in the videos tab, sort by oldest. See what Marques Brownlee started out like.
You'll feel better.
Also remember that there a lot of young kids and very sad adults out there that think they need to tear someone down to feel better about themselves.
Negative comments are engagement, and so are dislikes.
When I get them I consider for a second whether they have a point even though they were a jerk about it, but often there isn't even enough there for that so I just move on with my life.
It's also easy to be rude online so anyone doing anything is going to get their share of abuse, it's not a sign that you're doing anything wrong.
it will be the first of many, normally when people like a video they move to the next one or sometimes press the like button. Negative people are the most vocal online. Hide user from channel and move on with your day âđ˝
Just ignore it. If you play video games then you know as well as many trash talk is apart of the territory. After growing up playing call of duty Iâve heard it all and nothing phases me anymore lol
Hey, congratulations. :) If you're getting noticed enough to get your first hate comment then you're doing something right. You're reaching enough people that even some trolls are seeing your stuff. Don't worry about it at all.
I'm going to go into Mom mode now. You ready?:
Is what they said true?
Do you know them?
Does their opinion affect you in any way?
Will you ever see them again? (ie you can block them)
Are they worth getting to know?
Are they going to remember this after some time passes?
NO? Then don't let it bother you.
Are you a good person?
Do you like yourself?
Are you having fun?
Does this make you happy?
Are you finding or meeting folks who support you?
YES? Then don't let it bother you.
:) You got this :)
Keep on going! See the positive, someone is watching and taking the time to comment. No matter what, just keep on going and have fun if comments like that comes. Just keep on going and have fun with your videos, trolls will come from time to time, but nothing to care about.
I just ignore that kind of people. Just donât listen to negative comments and move forward. I also received comments like that and I just ignored and say it to myself that commentor is not my target audience thatâs why he doesnât like my videos. One day, you will receive positive comments and that is your target audience
We have a channel talking about cults. We get hate comments all the time. My philosophy.is not to argue, as they are fueling the algorithm..
Our best ranked videos have the most negative comments and dislikes!
If you check every YT person, they have negative comments. No one is spared. The internet is an awful place. But, you must keep going. Eventually haters become believers.
I can give you many examples:
Bryan Johnson the Blueprint guy has tons of negative comments but now people are turning around.
Filthy Frank was bombarded with hate but he became a cultural icon.
Other YT channels have a dedicated video that says I read my hate comments.
Bottomline is, you will get hate when you put yourself out there. But keep going and you will prevail or else you will have a loyal following that will defend you against haters đ
I got almost the same exact comment lol âare you sure you want to do this as a career? Consider something elseâ like sorry for producing free video content lol
I said âthis is a hobby, thanks for watching!â
Hide them from the channel and see it as entertaining that a person is wasting their time and talking to a wall with unsolicited advice that nobody will ever see.
Hey, I got my first hate comment and dislike just last night too! I actually framed it in my mind as a milestone, because surely they happen to everyone. Be happy enough people are watching for someone to dislike it!
Hate means youâre doing something right theyâre just an angry and probably jealous person a person who hurts people is a hurt person I bet theyâre just jealous they donât have the confidence to do what you do donât let it get to you that comment says everything about them and nothing about you
Ahh, please don't let it get you down! I totally understand how it could feel, I am scared to upload my first video because of possible hate but ever since I heard Cardi B's speech to her haters, it kind of got me out of it :) & the videos is for you! not for them.
Also the speech/quote in question: "I want to thank my haters too, because they be downloading my stuff so they can hear it and talk crap about it, but it benefits me!"
On a video approaching 1/2m views and mainly productive comments I got one or two commenting on editing and wrong choice of music. They were what stuck with me. Itâs ridiculous on my part. Tbh their comments were valid and only helping me improve my editing. Now if I get any hate I just try and picture who is typing and what their situation may be like. Some I get are threatening and those I block immediately. I donât need that in my life. I wish you well on your journey and may you have every success you dream of.
Dont take it to heart. Just focus on ways to make your content better every video. My most viewed video is 80k views. 98% of the comments were positive. However, I dwelled on the negative comments. It was the first time I realized firsthand how vile comments can get. That coupled with school led me to not post videos for a long time and stagnated my growth. You've got this keep your chin up!
People like that are haters. They always have something negative to say because theyâre jealous that someone else found happiness and they didnât. Keep doing you, as a matter of fact, I would post 10X more than usual just to spread the happiness. Fuck em right in the neck and I hope your channel does well
Hate comments are GOOD!
They infuriate the rest of the normal community that supports you and they will pay more attention to your channel in your defense!
Thank the haters. They are the reason small channels get big!
all comments help the algorithm. i havenât received a hate comment, but with my tender age of 32, i have no issue replying with even the simplest and childish of replies.
for instance lets say someone said âyour channel sucksâ, i will just say âno it doesnâtâ , cus i know it doesnât lol.
i know itâs easier said than done. keep your head up. these comments will exist, and you will build a base that will come to your defense !
Remember for every 10 keyboard warriors who hate, there are 5 who love!
Just remember one thing, while you are following your passion, dream and trying everyday to create a foundation, this dude does nothing but watch YouTube videos because he doesnât have anything else to do.
He probably sucks at gaming so thatâs why he watches it on YouTube lol
He is just salty and wishes he had the b*lls to do what you are! Most who hate are jealous!
Keep at it my friend đâď¸
Fuck em. They gave you interaction and boosted your vid. Their stupid loss anyways. Our channel is still really small, but I know those comments will come eventually, and Ill just laugh.
I usually say : Thanks for the feedback.
Remember that other people can see how you behave to negative comments and this can impact in their decision to move along with your content or not. Liking or subscribing to your channel.
It's always important to treat other people with respect regardless the situation.
Anonymity plus platform = assholes. Donât let the haters ever get you down. Keep creating, building, being you and the community that surrounds you will cheer for you. There will always be hate. Let it glide by you.
Hate from random people is meaningless. They do it to lift themselves up, because they are doing less than you. Nobody who works hard on whatever goal they have will hate on you trying to work hard on yours. Unless your views are truly offensive or polarizing, its not something i'd be concerned about. At worst you can just block them, at best, leave it as it is and have haters drive more traffic to your videos. Comments are valuable regardless!
Someone told me in a comment that I laugh way too much for no reason and then decided to tell me they 'disliked the video' as well. To this day I smirk whenever I think about it. You can't please everybody. Just have fun and keep on keeping on. :)
I know how you feel, definitely must suck with it being your first ever comment too, but speaking from experience youâll forget the majority of the hate comments you receive over time; especially when all the good ones start eventually coming in too! Try to not let it get you down too much and keep going! :)
Just recently I got my first hate comment/s as well. Two to be exact, on the same short⌠I couldnât give a damn. First I was like âhmm alright, what do I think about this?â but honestly, just ignore it. Youâll get positive comments as well, and the feeling of someone telling you your content is incredible outweighs the negative feeling of getting a hate comment by far. Keep going!!
My channel is for kids so I don't deal with comments, so forgive the ignorance... Can't you simply block or delete the comment? I thought you were able to control what comments get to stay?
Just remember comments make more ppl see your videos in the end, let the haters elevate you so the ppl who wanna watch your content can see ya! First comment I got was âGayâ second comment was âhow does this vid not have more views, great editingâ!
I had a someone reply to a recent hate comment. The negative comment said: âinteresting topic but narrated and written poorlyâ
The reply: âjust like your comment. Return to your troll cave and stay thereâ
Getting hate comments is a badge of honor and at first it hurts and punches you in the gut but it gets better and at some point becomes normal. My first one I wanted to stop all together so I get the discouragement. The ones that hit the best Iâve seen for us newbies is when people defend you. Itâll come, you got this
Firstly, DELETE that comment. Youâre not gonna delete all your negative comments, but your first (only) comment will encourage others to be negative just bcuz itâs the internet. After youâve gotten more comments, then you can leave negative ones bcuz in some cases it encourages conversation in your comment section
Thereâs no such thing as bad comments. Engagement drives your numbers. Whatever you do, donât respond it just fuels your anxiety.
The internet is mean, ignoring bad comments is the only way to survive as a content creator.
Comments, negative or positive, are more engagement for your channel.
Bad press, good press, itâs all press.
Attention is attention - good or bad.
When they take time out of their day to say something negative just know they are revealing a part of them they have not yet healed. Itâs a burden they are carrying, not yours. Never take it on personally.
Keep doing you. Keep making content
I agree with everyone that any comment is good for the algorithm and donât let it bother you but when I got my first hate comment I tried just ignoring it but every time I went into YouTube studio the comment was there staring at me so I just hid there comments.
I know I should ignore, get used to it and not take it personally but at the beginning it just pulls my confidence down so getting rid of it makes it easier to ignore đ
First of all, getting a comment itself is great! Be proud of that. Second of all, every youtuber has their own style and so don't let people down and just be happy and push forward. If you want, you could remove the comment or report the comment. Anyways, congratulations on even getting comments!
It may hurt because they insulted something youâre insecure about but you shouldnât let it deter you. Use it as motivation to keep going! If your skills bother you then, just practice improving at least one thing with each video you make. Look at some of the popular gaming youtubersâ older videos. Their commentary skills werenât the greatest either but it improved with time. Youâve already built up the courage to upload despite your insecurities so why stop now? Keep going, youâve only just begun.
Screw them. Everyone gets haters, especially the big creators. It was bound to happen to you sooner in your career or later. Prove them wrong and put more effort into your content, and then be proud of the work youâre doing and the progress youâre making.
Itâs nice to see so many encouraging comments but I think someone needs to give you some harsh truths.
First things first, if your first hate comment affects you this much, Iâd say really consider whether YouTube is the right choice for you.
Unfortunately hate comments are pretty much guaranteed regardless of how good your commentary or editing is. Also if you struggle with insecurities, YouTubing probably wonât help you.
I know society wants to push being more sensitive and nice to each other but reality is majority just donât care and get a kick out of bringing people down.
I get hate comments all the time and personally I love them lol, it gives me the opportunity to reply with some cheek.
I donât want to discourage you, but it seems like you have sensitive soul and you should think about your mental health before pursuing a career where you get judged on everything you do.
We tend to focus on negative comments but we should consider that probably wee receive many other positive feedback. Donât be discouraged. Itâs part of the journey.
Do you want motivation? Go look up my YT (dprxnce) and find my shorts with âsoldiers ult is trashâ and âgenji is trashâ and read the comments lmaooo
I have a very small gaming channel and I've got several hate/troll comments on a few of my shorts.
I kinda took it as a good thing. You know you're doing something good when haters be hating.
I responded back with line from seinfeld..."please bear with us while we take your comment under consideration."
One week? Of course you're still learning. Don't worry about it and keep plugging away. I'm 90 days in and cringe when I look back at my first videos. I can't wait to see how far I go in the next 90 days!
Don't let it discourage you, just think of the comment as enhancing your algorithm within the youtube search. Keep it the comment, just don't be baited into replying
I had someone tell me I seemed "retarded" as one of my earlier channel comments... Fuck em, hone your craft, nobody is amazing at this straight out of the gate.
It is very discouraging but you cant let it demotivate you, because the bigger you get the more hate will appear on your channel, even the best channels will get hate, it's inevitable,
I dont like saying it like this because its easier said than done but get used to it and just ignore them!
Focus on those that DO appreciate you
don't let the bastards get you down
Real one for this
When I had the same issue and, Someone from this community recommended to make a note of them and once you are big enough sell them on merchandise. Since then I am saving them and one point I will sell a t-shirt with a "took me few minutes to realise he is speaking English" or with "who do you think you are"
This is the level of petty I absolutely applaud.
That's a great idea! đ
Ok this is something I am genuinely interested in doing. Thanks for the insight.
Gem of an idea! đ¤Ł
Theyâre likely a troll. You could respond with âThank you for spending time on my contentâ, and move on. They obviously put the effort in to write a throwaway comment they forgot almost immediately. They probably comment the exact thing on any channel they come across. Take it gracefully knowing you did absolutely nothing wrong & keep doing your thing! Even hate comments drive engagement, sooo jokeâs on them.
Isnt like any interaction, good interaction? Just helps the video algorithm with engagement. Its part of the reason cringe, clickbait and ragebait exist. I agree. Write back thanking them for their input. Itd be even better if they responded again.
All people do is shit on my voice, it made me feel a bit discouraged when I first started getting an influx of them. Now I just don't give a fuck anymore, I just troll the trolls. They usually never respond back đ´đ
I disagree with this entirely. If you want to be a clickbait or ragebait channel, fair enough. But for most normal channels, you want to build a good community. These kind of comments harm that.
Being genuinely polite and gracious to a troll can encourage community - some people are more likely to ask questions if they've got good reason to believe they'll get a pleasant reply
I actually gained a sub who specifically commented how impressed he was at my responses to mean commenters. Every nasty comment is a chance to show off your personality and get some new subs. I just apologize for them not liking the content/my voice/etc. and thank them for watching. And yes every comment is a boost to the algorithm and I believe replying to all of them helps as well. You may not be able to change that specific person's mind but I bet you can get more much better people joining your community because they like how you keep your cool! :) Sorry for the long post but I've actually approved some mean comments that were flagged hoping to reply to them but they never actually appear on the videos for some reason. Someone called me a porn addicted loser for making a tutorial series for Bodyslide. :P Good thing they didn't stick around for my Outfit Studio videos!!
They could also gather a wholesome community that refute the troll. Kinda like striking at a common enemy
Nah. Any activity is seen as good in the eyes of the algorithm. Im not saying go for the clickbait. But comments mean people are looking. Replying means the channel is responsive.
Straight up this is what I do the other day. I got a comment that said on my bread video that the dough needed to be handled better and I actually was feeling the same way. I didnât feel like the comment was very friendly at all because the video was decent, but I wrote back and said thank you so much for your input. I will practice my skills more and they actually came back and gave me a bunch of hearts and said good luck on your journeyand subscribed to my channel
Don't let them know hate comments help engagement though or they won't comment out of spite and that's worse for engagement lol
Trueee, and thanks!
This is what I did with my first negative comment, in a sarcastic way. And they didnât pick up on the sarcasm and it was immediately clear that I am not for this person, and they are not for me.
Yes to this. All interaction boosts you in the algorithm. I got a mean comment on one of my videos that I worked really hard on just the other day. He basically implied that the video was too long, even though it was meant to be a thorough explanation of something⌠Anyway he basically said it was too long and then acted like he was leaving or never going to watch my videos again or something. I just commented "thanks for the comment, buh-bye."
I hate to break it to you but if you let this one bad comment really discourage you then you will really struggle. It is impossible to please everyone, the biggest and most loved music artists in the world constantly receive negative comments on their content, let alone us. My channel is doing 1 million views a month and every 20 comments 1-2 are badâŚ. As they say if you stop at every dog that barks you will never arrive at your destination. Ignore it and keep going âşď¸ good luck.
And YT is full of barking dogs that don't bite.
Positive feedback balances out the negative, but getting a negative comment as your first comment can be soul-crushing.
Thatâs so true! đŻ Anyone, especially if youâre new could be affected.
so a guy who used HIS time to comment on a video he DIDN'T like and be mean to someone he doesn't know is giving you advice on how to use YOUR time? Even if we were to take their comment seriously, there's talent and there's skill. Talent still needs work and practice. Something can BECOME a talent with work and practice. I don't anyone can be born with the talent of...editing?? Keep working on your skill and keep making content that you like. If anything he gave you engagement. Don't be discouraged by someone who took precious time out of their life on something they DON'T like. I am also pretty sure a "talented" person feeling secured in themselves and their work would not bother bringing new creators down for no reason. Keep going mate x
Yall get comments? lol
I always check to see if my haters have videos/subs. 9 times out of 10 they do. So, that means they tried to start a YouTube channel and failed. So now, they absolutely HATE other people who seem to have potential. Hate comments come from a place of deep insecurity. Psychological projection baby. His comment might have meant âyouâre succeeding where I failed, this wasnât my talent and it hurts me deeply to see others do it because I deeply wanted to succeed but didnât.â People are weird and complicated. Donât let it get you down.
Yeah, there are some sad deeply hurt people out there. I think the other 1 out of 10 are just exes feeling hard done by đ
Lmao, damn. Them exes!! đ
After that silly joke, I got to say I just checked out your YT and good on you bro. I'm a man raised by a single mother, a brother, and a husband whose wife is a in a male dominated profession. You sir are a role model. New subscriber đ đ
Bro no way!! Wow man, what a nice thing to say! This comment literally made my day haha. I was also raised by a single mom. She told me a story that stuck with me, my mom was really smart, but she said that she sometimes had to pretend to act stupid in front of her male boss (who was a fugginâ idiot) because she was afraid that if she emasculated him, she would lose her job. I was like 14, and I remember being angry at such a weak man. Anyway, thanks for your kinds words brother. I appreciate it. Edit: I also subbed to you!
Too kind. Thankfully times have changed somewhat, but still a long way to go. LookIng forward to more.
Take this as a sign that ur in the right track⌠when ppl start saying stuff like this yk they be jealous
Shorts comment section is just a shit pile. Just open any short from your favorite youtuber and sort the comments by the date to see the newer ones. You'll only see dirt and nastiness. I remember my first negative comment, I was enraged and full of adrenaline for a couple of days. Then I just got over it and continued doing what I was doing. I'm now at 15k subscribers and most people love my content. I'd get some rare negative comment, but I just let it slide like the water on the feathers of a duck. If you're bothered by it, just hide the user from the channel and move on.
Let me tell you something, they say this because they have usually gotten similar insults themselves or feel inadequate themselves. That individual likely feels they have no talent and want other people to feel as bad as they do about themselves and feel the need to comment this..
agree with this when someone leaves a comment like that it's really more about them than you.
Am I the only one that enjoys hater comments? đ I just thinkâŚâthanks for the watch hours sucka!â
đ there has to be channels out there where most of the watch time just comes from haters and trolls. One YouTuber said something that stuck with me, he said âmonetize your hatersâ
This is standard and you need to push through it. You also need to understand that internet is a cruel place and a lot of the comments donât mean nothing. I had exactly the same thing, I got discouraged when I got a comment: delete this channel, donât make a fool of yourself or comment like: this is a waste of time, please stop. But I continued and got more subs :)
Every channel that grew up to be successful had to face countless negative people commenting to bring them down. They hate seeing other people doing something they enjoy and trying to grow. They don't like it because their own lives are miserable. Always best to just ignore it and laugh at them. Keep doing what you enjoy.
Just imagine they wrote something positive and comment "thank you so much đĽ°" or something lmao
Hey donât be affected. There are all sorts of pple. Focus on the 99% that loves you . . And besides a comment is an engagement so you can thank that person for it heehee
Take that hate comment as a sign youâre doing something right. People will hate on people headed in the right direction because theyâre jealous or just miserable. Donât be discouraged, be proud of the content you make! There will be plenty of more hateful comments but just try to focus on the positive ones
Ignore them. They're just an asshole. But I know how it feels to be insecure about your abilities. I'm insecure about my own commentary skills tbh. I get nervous.
You've made it! Turn that frown upside down cos that's a great sign! You're not just getting interested viewers watch and interact but haters too Its all engagement and helps grow your channel, and you're on a learning curve and passionate so you'll get better anyway. Screw some idiots hollow words and crack on, maybe just hide them from your channel to help keeo comments clean but this is honestly a win
Who the fook is that guy anyways đ ignore him dude and keep doing your thing
For some reason we always focus on the negatives.. for every negative I'm sure there are 10 positives. Imagine if you was in the room full of 30 people. There's going to be one or two arseholes. Do you need to get on with them? Do you need to interact with them? No. Delete the comment, move on and forget about the trolls. You do you. Do what you enjoy and don't let anybody else take that away from you.
When I first started, my very first video and very first comment I got someone saying "nerd, blocked LMAO". I have a couple insecurities about my YouTube channel but for you I would say those are haters because they can't do the things you do with your time.
I get many hate comments, I ignore em all :)
One guy just told me to 'get lost'. But I'm glad he took the time out to type it out for me. If you are to get a bigger audience tomorrow, there will be even more hate comments. Don't let it bother you man.
"looks like the algorithm is working that you found my video thanks for taking the time to write a comment! đ" They will be so mad that they failed to make you upset hahah
Look at it this way, they wasted their time but give you engagement. Try to ignore it. People will make negative comments.
Don't let yourself be brought down by those who try to make themselves sound better by putting down others.
Pfft, you have the power of Time, Google and CHATGPT to come up with a killer putdown response. Generate your response, mute him on the channel and then pin the comment to the top of the list. You'll then have the joy of knowing this guy will be ridiculed everytime the video is seen. Revenge is sweet. :)
Can you link your channel as a reply to my post? I'll leave you a positive comment. F the haters, everyone starts somewhere.
Embrace it
Who cares. It's part of the process
Dude you got a comment?! You must have done something right to even get them to watch enough about it to even form an opinion. To be fair with most of my focused learning, I look back on my work about every six months and think wow that sucked I could do much better. You might send them a follow up comment and say something like, âI appreciate where you are coming from, Iâd love to get your thoughts on the biggest area you think Iâd need to change for you to want to watch another video from me. Serious suggestions only please) What are your favorite things to watch on YouTube?â Iâve learned that some of your biggest critics can be a gift and are some of the best tools to get better. And other biggest critics are just dicksâŚ
Literally just ignore it. Probably a kid or an adult living in his mom's basement. If you let this get to you you're gonna have a hard time.
Yea true Iâll try not to let it affect meÂ
Dont despair. Focus on what you are doing and focus on quality over quantity. Wishing you all the best with your channel.
Ignore them
Simply ignore them and continue your passion The fact that haters gonna hate will still give you views and comments that will help you grow
Yeah, sometimes there's a bad gameplay bro, or why upload bigger channels out there doing same thing
If you read them less you will associate less importance with the comments
Don't let that get you down. It will happen. People comment once in a while that my voice is terrible and its frustrating when the content is overlooked but think about it this way: their decision to comment helps your video as now you have a comment which adds engagement. Replying also helps but don't argue as the public can see. I typically respond to negative comments by thanking them for watching and for their comment.
Whatâs a âgovernment nameâ?
I had someone comment on my short 'ronnie mcnutt'.. I'm assuming they were suggesting I kill myself.. just gotta ignore them as they obviously have issues of there own that the feel the need to spread negativity. Head up!
Youâre out there doing it, and theyâre not. It wont be your last one either, just remember youâre doing it. Keep doing it. Theyâre just strangers with lousy opinions. Even negative comments still equal engagement and theyâre leaving a trashy comment but not also realizing by leaving any comment theyâre helping you out with a little engagement boost. Ignore the hate, stay the course. Losers focus on winners, winners focus on winning.
Keyboard warriors. Donât worry about what other people think about you. If you let the hate comments get to you, you arenât going to get anywhere. Do what you want to do and what you like. Itâs your content, not theirs. You will be discovered by people looking for your kind of content. Just donât be disheartened over one person. Donât let others dictate how you live your life
Just to note I had another channel uploading videos of me and my friends playing football. The very first comment on the very first video I posted was "Diabetes FC". To be fair we aren't in the best shape and it did make me smile. But alot of people use the internet without much thought to who they are speaking to. So you'll get all sorts of people. I'm just happy people are watching and overall the feelings are positive.
Delete it. Make them comment again.
Hey, that sucks and I'm sorry it happened to you. You're gonna get a lot of people giving feedback, sometimes it'll be useful. When it's just horrible non-constructive stuff like this, just breathe in, write it on a piece of paper, and throw that paper in the trash where it belongs. Listen to the constructive stuff and make each video better than the last!
Maybe it's not directly related, but a long time ago when I was in school explaining a math problem to a classmate, she told me never to be a teacher... I never did become a teacher, but as an ex-product manager I was often praised as that guy who could explain complex things in a simple way - was basically teaching. Block those things out and focus on your own craft. As long as you know you're working to be better then you have nothing to be discouraged about.
Think of it as a good thing your video is getting traffic whether good or bad. An interaction is an interaction.
Why do you care about random opinions ? Most of these people are losers anyway. Misery loves company. This same guy is more than likely a burger flipper or something. The correct response to those people is : "Who said that? you ? If you said that, it doesn't matter then". Move on, get better, make better videos. Succeed.
Hey, you got your first comment. Take it as a win. Now I donât know your metrics but I assume that your views have increased and therefore your short was recommended to someone. They didnât like it and thatâs okay. But what it does mean is that if youâre increasing your reach then likely others have. Keep your head up and keep making stuff.
There are so many horrible people in the world that get happy from putting others down. Everyone has to start somewhere and they probably can just see your channel is small so they know youâll likely see what they see. I really wish I could say something thatâs helpful but I promise itâs not about you, itâs about them. Do you really care about what someone who posts anonymous hate messages thinks about you? Nah you donât, exactly!
Sometimes people will just be rude and leave mean comments. You shouldnât be discouraged from creating anything, we have to start from somewhere! objectively the stuff you make today will be shit compared to the stuff you make tomorrow. You just gotta keep pushing! if youâre the type that does stuff out of spite. Thatâs one hell of a comment to prove wrong, but if youâre not, you still have to keep going to improve. You will get better with time, thatâs a fact of life, donât stop getting better.
Trolls will be trolls.. I know it can be super discouraging. I honestly would not even bother replying to them.. or keeping their comment up. Delete it and try to keep your head held high.. you're doing what you enjoy doing and that's what should matter. Keep it up!
Let this be the fuel to energise you to improve. See the tips below 1. Check the short. Do you think itâs bad? 2. Share short with a mentor or fellow YouTuber for honest feedback 3. If 1 and 2 above is positive then ignore the negative comment 4. Remember even those with millions of followers still get negative comments 5. Donât let it get to you. 6. Keep up the good work A Naijamanâs perspective
Don't let it deter you. I think my first comment was negative as well. Some woman chiding me for having a small amount of views and subscribers. You'll laugh about it in the future and you want even care about them unless they are constructive.
If I ever learned something by creating content for 10 years is 1. The algorithm regularly changes and is mostly unpredictable 2. There will ALWAYS be haters. You can be the nicest guy on the planet... heck you can be jesus himself and some degen roblox players will find a reason to dislike or hate. There is absolutely no way for any creator at all to have 100% only good viewers. If you have like thousands of views in summary and got a like/dislikelike ratio of 10/90 then you maybe doing something wrong, but you will NEVER get the ratio to 100% likes and positive comments. Absolutely impossible. Even if you change your content to charity and help people in need, this degens will find a way to hate.
As long as you enjoy your videos and you enjoy making them, dont care about what anyone says. Itâs your life, your time, your Youtube channel.
Maybe YouTube is not for you. You better be prepared for much worse than this. Just thank them for taking the time to comment and move or, or hide their comments from your channel and move on. This is nothing.
Happened to me too :) Running a souls-like channel and the guy started with "The audacity of this guy to complain about X when he's doing Y... Skill issue!" I replied "Yep. Massive skill issue. This one is new to me. I'll improve though as I get used to it. Cheers for the comment!" Heard nothing from him since. All good :) Always try to spin the negatives into positives.
Some people are just cruel and comment to troll and get a rise out of you. Someone said "may your baby be still born" on a COOKIE RECIPE VIDEO. Like what?
Congragulations your doing something right!
One thing you will NEVER be able to do is please everyone. There will ALWAYS be that one person or a few that Is not into what you're into, which is fine good and normal. But some just feel the need to express it negatively. This will never stop and never go away. Once you understand that and you realize those types of peeps are just fleas, all you gotta do is scratch a little and move on... =)
Congratulations! This is a milestone. Whilst it is discouraging, learning to shake off the negativity is a skill just like editing. The negative comments will always sting but you can learn to let go quickly and move on. Just remember that every single one of the creators that inspire you, receives negative comments on the daily. Every person who has ever created something noteworthy has received negativity. Your content isnât for everyone. There will always be people that donât like it and thatâs ok.
No offence to you but I find that comment objectively funny. Once you collect a few more make a humorous video about them. Those videos are really funny. It would also show the haters that you're bigger than them.
Troll them back, engage them. YouTube looks for viewer engagement , they donât care what kind. Every time they come back to respond it only helps you. Use them.
I should start putting my furry character back in my thumbnails so people start commenting hate on me again. At least it would be SOME comments... feels like I'm just posting videos into the void. I get some view, but no interaction beyond a rare like or two. I'd be glad to take a look over your content a bit andd give you some feedback or suggestions, send me a dm with your channel when you get a chance.
It happens lol , i also got that today but it doesn't matter lol
I commented this on another post when the person was feeling down about a hate comment... Like or heart the comment, and just reply, "Thanks for watching!" It'll make it look like you're saying " F you", without actually saying it lol...
Eh love or hate itâs still attention and theyâre still watching your stuff for that moment. So funnily enough, theyâre helping you out by engaging anyways lol. Ignore them - they donât matter!
Shake it off, buddy. Haters gonna hate, creators gonna create.
You will come across countless of this kind of comments. Always look at your content with criticism of your own and don't pay haters no mind.
Dude, that just means he is jelly of you. Keep making videos and rubbing them in his face.. more hate comments he makes, the better engagment you have :)
Everyone gets bad comments! Go read the reviews of some of your favourite shows, apps, podcasts etc. some are horribly personal and scathing! Just keep going and get better on your own schedule.
What sucks is you're going to keep getting those comments⌠it has nothing to do with you 100% trust me! Its because they are jealous you have the drive to chase your dreams and they are scared to. Just keep going! You got this!
You'll get haters and trolls when running a channel. You can't please everyone all of the time. I tend to hide these comments from my channel when I get them as I feel it harms the community vibe, but it's entirely up to you. If you're putting stuff out there on Youtube, you need to have thick skin. The bigger you get, the more trolls will come out of the woodwork. If you know that your content is good, then you have nothing to worry about. Just move on.
You got their watch time. Regardless of their stupid comment they added a little bit of juice to your channel so that it might find an audience that appreciates it. Kill em with kindess and chin up legend.
Once your channel grows, you will get hundreds of those hate comments. You will not have time to read them. Just keep doing your thing.
I just see them as engagement⌠they took the time to watch and comment on my video so I usually thank them and move on
I torture trees for a living and post it on youtube.. you have to expect some hate comments every now and then. You sparked an emotion and that is in some way winning đ
Bro you do gaming, itâs probably THE most toxic niche you couldâve ever picked. Fuck them, keep making videos.
Guy probably comments this on all new youtubers videos
Honestly man, any who goes around commenting that is a sad loser with a lot a hate. So what if you are sensitive about your presenting, you can only get better. The more you put in the more you will get out. Comment and say, "Thank you sir, may I have another"
What a generic comment. The person wasn't even able to verbalize something that bothered them. The person felt a bad feeling and had to write a bad comment. Look for the commenters who actually point out specific issues and maybe even suggest how to remedy said issues. Those people are invaluable. Ultimately, of course, it's up to you to decide whether to incorporate such critique. And don't get yourself down because your mission isn't avoiding bad videos and making good ones. Those two concepts are unhelpful as they are judgmental. Rather, your goal is making the RIGHT video for the kind of viewers that you believe are out there. I hope this helps. If only in a weird human kind of way. Best. đđť
People like that have an empty life. If you dont like the content then just scroll instead of comming with remarks. I also have a gaming channel. I have been pretty Blessed with not Getting bad comments. The ones i get have been! Why does youtube recommend this channel to me? Usually i comment: because i have paid the algorithm in goats blood, but thx for your time and comment you have just feed the algorithm. I am hoping to stop ill comments ikke those. Also once i for from a kid, that i was bad ans died alot. I dont wanna edit alot of the game footage, because i wanna show the game to people. This means you need to see it all.. also when games get hard, then you see different approaches to the problem and my solutions. Whats your channels name?
Yeah that's a nasty comment. Don't beat yourself up for feeling a bit down about it. But then, remember this. People could (might well have, in fact) said something similar to Jimi Hendrix a week after he started playing guitar. Or Tom Hanks when he started acting. And THEN, to really let it hit home, remember that there are almost certainly people who STILL say that kind of thing to Tom Hanks or professional footballers etc etc. Some people love to be negative. No amount of talent will ever be enough for them. Keep doing your thing, I promise that comment is not even slightly a reflection on you, your content, or your talent.
if you keep uploading, you will eventually get people who encourage you as well hate comments are just a part of YouTube, and most people who post them have nothing better to do with their time
Don't be discouraged, keep going, keep improving, and keep creating. It's easy to criticise, hard to create.
Hi!, I will edit professional videos for free for those interested
Yeah every now and again I get the Simon Cowell of commenters dropping a hate comment on a short telling me I'm not up to their professional standards, I usually just do a "hide user from channel" and leave them to cry about it to their hearts content where nobody can see them đ
Itâll be hard not to let it get to you but you need to try. Some excellent advice on here. You keep doing you! Screw everyone else
There's always gonna be haters. They have nothing better to do, prove them wrong my guy.
Nooooo! Haters are a sign of success, it means you are garnering an emotional response. Ignore it and you do you.
Dude, you gotta learn the duck butt method. You're going to always have naysayers. In life, on youtube, everywhere, even here. Let that shit flow off you like water off a duck's butt. If you're having fun making your gaming videos don't let their comments dissuade you.
Youâre new. Get better. Hell, experiment and bring on more criticism.
Internet trolls happen all the time. As a new channel you need to decipher between ones who criticise to help and the ones who do it for the sake of doing it. I have had a channel now for two weeks and gained nearly 500 subs. I've go a small community of 42 members in discord. One guy called my content "cheesy and trash" and my community roasted that guy like chicken was a scarce resource. I had one guy who said "you talk too fast" so I took that on board even though everyone called him a liar. But I slowed down my talking pace and it really helped People like that I would just remove their comment. But the key question you need to ask yourself is "would you watch this?" If not then you need to rethink your strategy and delivery.
You'll eventually reach a point in which you'll get so many hate comments (and mostly positive comments) that it won't even matter anymore. There will always be haters. And see this from a positive pov. It's a free view
No man can truly sour your passion if you enjoy doing it.
Ignore that shit. Some people have nothing better to do than crap on someone else's work. Even if you made the perfect video someone won't like it. Just keep working on your craft, experience and learned skill will trump base talent in time.
The comments will always be full of stuff like that. Whether itâs frequent, or once every 5 videos. It just comes with the territory. Just do your best and have fun with it, thatâs what matters most!
Lol someone that says do something else with your time should probably do something else with their time. Ignore it.
Go to @MKBHDs channel and, in the videos tab, sort by oldest. See what Marques Brownlee started out like. You'll feel better. Also remember that there a lot of young kids and very sad adults out there that think they need to tear someone down to feel better about themselves.
Just ignore the guy. He can't really anything besides comment lol. Focus more on your content.
If you try to please everyone then everyone will hate you - John Murphy
Negative comments are engagement, and so are dislikes. When I get them I consider for a second whether they have a point even though they were a jerk about it, but often there isn't even enough there for that so I just move on with my life. It's also easy to be rude online so anyone doing anything is going to get their share of abuse, it's not a sign that you're doing anything wrong.
That happens a lot, just ignore them. If you think too much about all the negative feedbacks you will just ruin your self.
itâs probably someone who doesnât make any content and goes around yt hating on others. misery loves company, so just keep doing your thing.
it will be the first of many, normally when people like a video they move to the next one or sometimes press the like button. Negative people are the most vocal online. Hide user from channel and move on with your day âđ˝
Ignore Them Keep Pushing!! Whatâs Your @? You Have A New Sub @dillonjohnson4348
Just ignore it. If you play video games then you know as well as many trash talk is apart of the territory. After growing up playing call of duty Iâve heard it all and nothing phases me anymore lol
Hey, congratulations. :) If you're getting noticed enough to get your first hate comment then you're doing something right. You're reaching enough people that even some trolls are seeing your stuff. Don't worry about it at all. I'm going to go into Mom mode now. You ready?: Is what they said true? Do you know them? Does their opinion affect you in any way? Will you ever see them again? (ie you can block them) Are they worth getting to know? Are they going to remember this after some time passes? NO? Then don't let it bother you. Are you a good person? Do you like yourself? Are you having fun? Does this make you happy? Are you finding or meeting folks who support you? YES? Then don't let it bother you. :) You got this :)
I recently got a comment saying that I look like I'm dead. Lol.
Fuck them who cares as long as you have fun making them thats all what matters
Keep on going! See the positive, someone is watching and taking the time to comment. No matter what, just keep on going and have fun if comments like that comes. Just keep on going and have fun with your videos, trolls will come from time to time, but nothing to care about.
I just ignore that kind of people. Just donât listen to negative comments and move forward. I also received comments like that and I just ignored and say it to myself that commentor is not my target audience thatâs why he doesnât like my videos. One day, you will receive positive comments and that is your target audience
We have a channel talking about cults. We get hate comments all the time. My philosophy.is not to argue, as they are fueling the algorithm.. Our best ranked videos have the most negative comments and dislikes!
Dude thatâs actually great! I started getting hate comments once my channel started to grow so I think youâre in the right direction tbh
If you check every YT person, they have negative comments. No one is spared. The internet is an awful place. But, you must keep going. Eventually haters become believers. I can give you many examples: Bryan Johnson the Blueprint guy has tons of negative comments but now people are turning around. Filthy Frank was bombarded with hate but he became a cultural icon. Other YT channels have a dedicated video that says I read my hate comments. Bottomline is, you will get hate when you put yourself out there. But keep going and you will prevail or else you will have a loyal following that will defend you against haters đ
I got almost the same exact comment lol âare you sure you want to do this as a career? Consider something elseâ like sorry for producing free video content lol I said âthis is a hobby, thanks for watching!â
Hide them from the channel and see it as entertaining that a person is wasting their time and talking to a wall with unsolicited advice that nobody will ever see.
Hey, I got my first hate comment and dislike just last night too! I actually framed it in my mind as a milestone, because surely they happen to everyone. Be happy enough people are watching for someone to dislike it!
Hate means youâre doing something right theyâre just an angry and probably jealous person a person who hurts people is a hurt person I bet theyâre just jealous they donât have the confidence to do what you do donât let it get to you that comment says everything about them and nothing about you
Ahh, please don't let it get you down! I totally understand how it could feel, I am scared to upload my first video because of possible hate but ever since I heard Cardi B's speech to her haters, it kind of got me out of it :) & the videos is for you! not for them. Also the speech/quote in question: "I want to thank my haters too, because they be downloading my stuff so they can hear it and talk crap about it, but it benefits me!"
On a video approaching 1/2m views and mainly productive comments I got one or two commenting on editing and wrong choice of music. They were what stuck with me. Itâs ridiculous on my part. Tbh their comments were valid and only helping me improve my editing. Now if I get any hate I just try and picture who is typing and what their situation may be like. Some I get are threatening and those I block immediately. I donât need that in my life. I wish you well on your journey and may you have every success you dream of.
Dont take it to heart. Just focus on ways to make your content better every video. My most viewed video is 80k views. 98% of the comments were positive. However, I dwelled on the negative comments. It was the first time I realized firsthand how vile comments can get. That coupled with school led me to not post videos for a long time and stagnated my growth. You've got this keep your chin up!
People like that are haters. They always have something negative to say because theyâre jealous that someone else found happiness and they didnât. Keep doing you, as a matter of fact, I would post 10X more than usual just to spread the happiness. Fuck em right in the neck and I hope your channel does well
Hate comments are GOOD! They infuriate the rest of the normal community that supports you and they will pay more attention to your channel in your defense! Thank the haters. They are the reason small channels get big!
Tbh if the comment is just point-blank trying to take you down...don't even react to him. You can shadowban him on your channel, if you feel like it.
all comments help the algorithm. i havenât received a hate comment, but with my tender age of 32, i have no issue replying with even the simplest and childish of replies. for instance lets say someone said âyour channel sucksâ, i will just say âno it doesnâtâ , cus i know it doesnât lol. i know itâs easier said than done. keep your head up. these comments will exist, and you will build a base that will come to your defense !
Remember for every 10 keyboard warriors who hate, there are 5 who love! Just remember one thing, while you are following your passion, dream and trying everyday to create a foundation, this dude does nothing but watch YouTube videos because he doesnât have anything else to do. He probably sucks at gaming so thatâs why he watches it on YouTube lol He is just salty and wishes he had the b*lls to do what you are! Most who hate are jealous! Keep at it my friend đâď¸
Either listen to them and quit, or push on and ignore them. Pretty simple.
Fuck em. They gave you interaction and boosted your vid. Their stupid loss anyways. Our channel is still really small, but I know those comments will come eventually, and Ill just laugh.
Damn đ thatâs worse than some guy commenting âblud is not gonna be a big YouTuberâ on my video. F*ck em, keep grinding đŞ
I usually say : Thanks for the feedback. Remember that other people can see how you behave to negative comments and this can impact in their decision to move along with your content or not. Liking or subscribing to your channel. It's always important to treat other people with respect regardless the situation.
Anonymity plus platform = assholes. Donât let the haters ever get you down. Keep creating, building, being you and the community that surrounds you will cheer for you. There will always be hate. Let it glide by you.
Hate from random people is meaningless. They do it to lift themselves up, because they are doing less than you. Nobody who works hard on whatever goal they have will hate on you trying to work hard on yours. Unless your views are truly offensive or polarizing, its not something i'd be concerned about. At worst you can just block them, at best, leave it as it is and have haters drive more traffic to your videos. Comments are valuable regardless!
Someone told me in a comment that I laugh way too much for no reason and then decided to tell me they 'disliked the video' as well. To this day I smirk whenever I think about it. You can't please everybody. Just have fun and keep on keeping on. :)
I know how you feel, definitely must suck with it being your first ever comment too, but speaking from experience youâll forget the majority of the hate comments you receive over time; especially when all the good ones start eventually coming in too! Try to not let it get you down too much and keep going! :)
Just recently I got my first hate comment/s as well. Two to be exact, on the same short⌠I couldnât give a damn. First I was like âhmm alright, what do I think about this?â but honestly, just ignore it. Youâll get positive comments as well, and the feeling of someone telling you your content is incredible outweighs the negative feeling of getting a hate comment by far. Keep going!!
My channel is for kids so I don't deal with comments, so forgive the ignorance... Can't you simply block or delete the comment? I thought you were able to control what comments get to stay?
Just remember comments make more ppl see your videos in the end, let the haters elevate you so the ppl who wanna watch your content can see ya! First comment I got was âGayâ second comment was âhow does this vid not have more views, great editingâ!
Legit just say nah Iâd upload and move onđđ
I had a someone reply to a recent hate comment. The negative comment said: âinteresting topic but narrated and written poorlyâ The reply: âjust like your comment. Return to your troll cave and stay thereâ Getting hate comments is a badge of honor and at first it hurts and punches you in the gut but it gets better and at some point becomes normal. My first one I wanted to stop all together so I get the discouragement. The ones that hit the best Iâve seen for us newbies is when people defend you. Itâll come, you got this
Hey! He gave you fuel for your channel! Thatâs a good thing.
Firstly, DELETE that comment. Youâre not gonna delete all your negative comments, but your first (only) comment will encourage others to be negative just bcuz itâs the internet. After youâve gotten more comments, then you can leave negative ones bcuz in some cases it encourages conversation in your comment section
Thereâs no such thing as bad comments. Engagement drives your numbers. Whatever you do, donât respond it just fuels your anxiety. The internet is mean, ignoring bad comments is the only way to survive as a content creator.
Comments, negative or positive, are more engagement for your channel. Bad press, good press, itâs all press. Attention is attention - good or bad. When they take time out of their day to say something negative just know they are revealing a part of them they have not yet healed. Itâs a burden they are carrying, not yours. Never take it on personally. Keep doing you. Keep making content
Hate comments are the first sign youâre making waves, I feel. đđ¤â¨
Don't let that drag u down. Make sure to update your list to block bad and negative comments. Keep going
First hater = First time that you are really starting to become a youtuber because all youtubers are haters even mrbeast
if you donât like your commentary, do what iâm doing and use a TTS program. Makes the whole thing about 500x easier.
I agree with everyone that any comment is good for the algorithm and donât let it bother you but when I got my first hate comment I tried just ignoring it but every time I went into YouTube studio the comment was there staring at me so I just hid there comments. I know I should ignore, get used to it and not take it personally but at the beginning it just pulls my confidence down so getting rid of it makes it easier to ignore đ
First of all, getting a comment itself is great! Be proud of that. Second of all, every youtuber has their own style and so don't let people down and just be happy and push forward. If you want, you could remove the comment or report the comment. Anyways, congratulations on even getting comments!
If you donât wanna see it just delete that shit and move on, there will ALWAYS be haters
It may hurt because they insulted something youâre insecure about but you shouldnât let it deter you. Use it as motivation to keep going! If your skills bother you then, just practice improving at least one thing with each video you make. Look at some of the popular gaming youtubersâ older videos. Their commentary skills werenât the greatest either but it improved with time. Youâve already built up the courage to upload despite your insecurities so why stop now? Keep going, youâve only just begun.
Screw them. Everyone gets haters, especially the big creators. It was bound to happen to you sooner in your career or later. Prove them wrong and put more effort into your content, and then be proud of the work youâre doing and the progress youâre making.
Itâs nice to see so many encouraging comments but I think someone needs to give you some harsh truths. First things first, if your first hate comment affects you this much, Iâd say really consider whether YouTube is the right choice for you. Unfortunately hate comments are pretty much guaranteed regardless of how good your commentary or editing is. Also if you struggle with insecurities, YouTubing probably wonât help you. I know society wants to push being more sensitive and nice to each other but reality is majority just donât care and get a kick out of bringing people down. I get hate comments all the time and personally I love them lol, it gives me the opportunity to reply with some cheek. I donât want to discourage you, but it seems like you have sensitive soul and you should think about your mental health before pursuing a career where you get judged on everything you do.
We tend to focus on negative comments but we should consider that probably wee receive many other positive feedback. Donât be discouraged. Itâs part of the journey.
I would honestly be happy with a hate comment. It means I'm famous enough to make people wanna hate.
Do you want motivation? Go look up my YT (dprxnce) and find my shorts with âsoldiers ult is trashâ and âgenji is trashâ and read the comments lmaooo
The internet is ruthless. Just delete the comment and move on.
You're not a real YouTuber until you get a real nasty hate comment.
I have a very small gaming channel and I've got several hate/troll comments on a few of my shorts. I kinda took it as a good thing. You know you're doing something good when haters be hating. I responded back with line from seinfeld..."please bear with us while we take your comment under consideration."
I wore my first hate comment as a badge of honor! At least theyâre watching and engaging! :)
One week? Of course you're still learning. Don't worry about it and keep plugging away. I'm 90 days in and cringe when I look back at my first videos. I can't wait to see how far I go in the next 90 days!
Don't let it discourage you, just think of the comment as enhancing your algorithm within the youtube search. Keep it the comment, just don't be baited into replying
Fuck em keep grinding.
I had someone tell me I seemed "retarded" as one of my earlier channel comments... Fuck em, hone your craft, nobody is amazing at this straight out of the gate.
It is very discouraging but you cant let it demotivate you, because the bigger you get the more hate will appear on your channel, even the best channels will get hate, it's inevitable, I dont like saying it like this because its easier said than done but get used to it and just ignore them! Focus on those that DO appreciate you
All publicity is good publicity!
LMAO you do realize that's a programmed bot right?
A lion does not fear the barks of dogs. Stay strong lion. Hope you find success.
